We don't have snow storms or Snow Blizzards in sunny California, but we've got ashstorms and Fire blizzards. A series of fires have broken out around us. They started Monday and began to rapidly spread on the winds of the Santa Anas and now, basically, our whole city is surrounded in flame, yet we still remain untouched.
Because of this, they finally decided to cancel school for tommarrow because they thought that the air quality was aweful. (Personally, I think it's too late. The damage to our lungs has been done.) We are still on standby for Friday, however.
So anyway, we have our own little snowdays, but I'd prefer to call them ash days. Poor California... people think it is amoung the best states to live in, but we get earthquakes often compared to most areas, wild brush fires, major floods, and insane droughts. Have you heard that, on the suject of Global warming, Tsnamis, do to the melting of the poles, the changing of polar coordinates and the expectancy of a major earthquake, may indeed begin to reach California in the next Century? All we need are some tornados and perhaps an active volcanoe or two and I think we're set on this whole natural disaster scale.
So I just thought that this was kind of funny... Where many states are having snowdays, we are getting pelted with fire and ash.

Oh, sweet irony  Everyone wants to go live in Cali with the earthquakes. I myself would love to live in Hawaii with the volcanoes XD Sure hope you don't catch on fire, dear. Stay safe, you can come live at my apartment in good ol' bama where it's nice and chilly  |

So what you are saying is that California is a very shitty place to live in?

It's America. Of course it is.
xDDDDDD
*high five Dagwyn and all other non-American residents of the site*
Ahahahaha.
Moving right along . . .
Australia gets major droughts and bush fires where I used to live, but now, further north, it rains a fair bit and we get cyclones instead. No earthquakes or volcanos.

There's a lot of old rich people here.
And Odessa, yuo made that WAY to intense than it really is. Yes, we could have been evacuated, but fires aren't literally surrounding our city. There's like more than ten areas with big fires that have sprouted near us, one pretty darn close and our school was not closed because of the air quality (although the air SUCKS) it was because they needed it for refugees. There are a lot of people who have lost homes ova here and I hope they can pull through all of this cause it has been pretty intense around us.

Well I didn't literally meen a ring of fire around us Kristen....
Its surrounding our whole city in a way that all around us, Tesoro, Camp Penaltin, the Powerplant, San Clemente- all those places have caught fire and they are all around us, hence all the smoke in the area. I wasn't meaning that there was literally a tower of flames over our head in a complete circle around our city. I meant in in the other way. You always read me wrong, Kristen. Ill have to put in parentheses what I mean literally and what I mean figuratively... And what does old Rich people have to do with anything?? Where did that sprout up my friend??

Hurricanes occur around the tropics, they come in from the ocean and use the moisture of the humidity in the air to power them . . . kinda like a water powered tornado . . . In layback, easy to understand terms.

Cyclones occur south of the equator and rotate the opposite direction, at least i think that's right.

Yep, you hit the nail on the head Nina. Cyclones are south of the equator, on the cool side of life.
